Forever 21

Forever 21 is my go to for cute and affordable trendy pieces. This location is huge, with 2 floors. For it being so big it is very well organized. These kinds of stores can sometimes get messy but the staff keeps this store tidy. I love that they have a plus size section for us girls with curves. When I need to grab something cute but don’t want to break the bank l head to Forever 21. Also by signing up for their email alerts, you will get access to discounts and promotional codes, sometimes earlier than the general public.

It’s been a while since I’ve been 21, but every now and then, I stop in to make sure my style is still relevant ;-) And I’m not alone. You’ll see grandmas in there shopping as well as kids who have a long way before they turn 21.
Avoid this place like the plague on any holiday or holiday season — Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas, etc. It’s always PACKED with shoppers with lines practically out the door.
The quality of the clothing isn’t very good, but the prices are great. Every now and then, I’ll find a piece that I’ll buy. Today, I passed on a $ 25 jacket that was so cute, but so delicate! I felt like it might rip just putting it on or taking it off. But I might have to go back and get it.

Love the store, but some of the quality of the clothes could use some work! The store is nice and big but can be difficult to maneuver just because there is so much to go through! But I definitely like the clothes and the choices! Sizes run a bit small!

They were remodeling the place for a while, and now that it’s open it’s amazing. This particular Forever 21 is really the biggest I’ve come across in the country. It’s two floors, and has rooms with different styles/​designers and a men’s and children’s section. My one problem with this store is that they might have too much stuff to choose from. I was once trying to put together an outfit and just became too overwhelmed. I put down the clothes I was trying to match and left. I’m not kidding.

Very good store. Very clean, and an amazing selection. Very BIG store, since it’s fairly new so it’s great for people who need more of a selection.

I am writing this as probably one of the few men that knows this particular Forever 21 sells men’s clothes. I am giving it 4 stars for the style and variety of clothing more then for the store itself which is probably about 80 to 90 percent for the ladies. It is humongous, the biggest non department store in all of Regency Mall comprised of different «rooms» or areas that reflect a particular line or style. Now I will be the first to tell you that the sizes run small and, for us big guys, it is probably best to try everything on as sizes seem to run the gamut.
The prices are, as most women know, pretty amazing and these are the coolest knock off/​inexpensive/​throw away duds with a high fashion, funky, Euro vibe that you are going to find in Richmond. Since H&M in Short Pump Mall has felt it unnecessary to carry men’s clothing, this is about the only mall store besides Urban Outfitters to carry cool menswear. The men’s area is on the right as you walk in in the second «room». You also will benefit from knowing that the sale items are very affordable. Go check it out, I am sure you will find something cool. Throw away men’s fashion, real fashion, I am in!

Ok for anyone who loves Forever 21, this is by far the nicest of their stores (even compared to their stores in NYC)… it’s HUGE and has all of their lines, except the plus size line (for which they get two stars deducted– in Richmond there are lots of girls who can’t wear Forever 21 sizes, they need to get the plus size line in!)… shoes, lingerie, fancy dresses and tee shirts and skinny jeans, all at insanely reasonable prices.
Now fine, most of this stuff will be out of style next year, but since you didn’t pay a ton for it you shouldn’t feel bad about that…
